The Story of Repaying My Father's 100 Million Yen Debt


#CreativeAward2022

Thank you for reading until the end! This story is based on what I heard from my father, and I have summarized it quite a bit (there was actually a lot more, but I couldn't include it all because it would be too long).
At the time, my mother was pregnant and taking care of one child. She was staying at her parents' house. She said that while she was anxious about what would happen to their future, she watched my father's hardworking back and waited patiently without a single complaint. Honestly, she is truly amazing.
I published this story on my blog, and after it received a positive response, I recently uploaded it to Twitter. It was picked up by various articles and reached 2 million PV in a single day. I still can't believe that my father, whom I thought was just a middle-aged man who farts at home, had such a past. I applied for this award with the hope that many people would read it and that it would reach even more people.

I named my company after the house name my grandfather lived in at the time (I couldn't think of a good name, so I went with my father's suggestion), and it feels like things have come full circle, making me feel the bonds of our family.
For now, I must do my best to fall seven times and get up eight, making sure not to get into debt.

*After writing this, I added a story my father remembered as an 'Another Story' (I've posted it on my Livedoor blog, so I'll include the link). Please take a look if you'd like. It's quite an infuriating story.
